CCC **1703 **Endowed with “a spiritual and immortal” soul, the human person is “the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake.” From his conception, he is destined for eternal beatitude.
Sorry about that James and thanks for correcting my mistake mlchance…:tiphat:
Bad arguement. The Church still uses Latin. In the Church’s eyes fetus is latin for baby. That is the reality whether you like it or not. Or do you just simply give in to the distortions and opinions of the liberal main stream media.

All arguments in support of abortion are bad arguments. In fact I have been amazed ove rhe years at the horrible, horrible biology and science that has been asserted by those trying to defend the indefensible. I have been told the unborn child is a parasite, that it goes through a stage where it is more amphibian than human, that it has no gender at conception, that it is akin to a tumor, that is no different from a sperm cell,yada,yada,yada. And of course it is generally conceded by all that the so called science that the USSC used to support the original ruling was fatally flawed…
Interesting. The media labels it as pro-choice and pro-life. If you take pro-choice and look at it, it is exactly what it implies. Pro-choice is pro-death. Scientism is a danger and the USSC is a perfect example of this. All their long-winded attempts at rationalization. Doesn’t work. Guess who gets all the attemtion. The pro-choicers who become the darlings of the media. The media “we advocate killing innocent children” continues on with their ant-Catholic bais. Anyone that’s pro-life is automatically looked at as a sexist pig, a racist, a homophobic; attacks like this that are emotionally based. Emotionally based statements that come from people who say that “the truth is found according to our experiences”. In the words of Bishop Sheen, “Life is worth living.”
Hybrid argument.
No you going to have a baby.
It does go through a parasitic stage from when the placenta forms, ubtil borth.
Mark,
Both, moreso the former than the latter. According to Dr. Colbert during my talks with her during a few classes, most of the women she has counseled have been emotionally bullied and threatened into abortions.
Is this by the father of the baby or the abortion clinic staff/doctors? While I can imagine the father would do this, it is horrible to think that the people working at the clinic or even a doctor would do that. I am just being naive?
By any number of people depending on case: fathers, parents of the pregnant woman/girl, “counselors,” clinic workers, doctors, et cetera. Too many pregnant women/girls hear, “Get an abortion,” instead of, “Let me help you.”
